THE ASSESSMENT OF LABOR CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO HAZARD INDICATORS ON THE BASIS OF PRODUCTION RISK DETERMINATION

The article deals with the principles, methods and criteria of risk assessment to create controlled conditions that minimize the potential consequences of harmful and hazardous factors in the production environment and the labour process of workers in the transportation industry. There has been conducted the analysis of methods of determining the level of danger from the combined effect of harmful factors in the production conditions that currently exist in Ukraine, their shortcomings are identified and the ways to solve them are proposed. A unified approach to the calculation of production risk depending on the parameters of the working area is proposed taking into account the time spent by hazardous factors working in the affected area, which does not require entering multiple scales to characterize the quality of the environment. Based on the algorithm for converting environmental parameters into an indicator of production risk, an analysis of working conditions maps is carried out, the subjectivity of assessing the actual conditions and nature of work in Ukraine is proved. It has been revealed that the obtained indicators of integral risk testify to the contradictions of the Ukrainian legislation to the world standards for the protection of health and safety at work. KEYWORDS

Also, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that in the English-speaking conceptual system, hazards imply both dangerous and harmful production factors [3].
Labor protection is one of the most important tasks of the socio-economic policy of the state, as well as the individual enterprise and organization. However, measures to improve working conditions to prevent occupational injuries and occupational diseases in modern production conditions of Ukraine have proved ineffective.
It is necessary to provide a comprehensive analysis of working conditions, as well as the creation of a safety management subsystem based on design approaches in a common production management system [5]. There are also many factors in the production environment that require the determination of an integral indicator of the level of danger to workers in the production environment. The theoretical basis for the formation of a new concept of security in organizational and technical systems can be used axiom of the potential danger, the Weber-Fechner law, the Liebig minimum principle, the Shelford tolerance law, the Farmer principle [6]. To determine the risk of reducing life expectancy when exposed to harmful factors in the working area of enterprises, it is permissible to take the Weber-Fechner law [6].
The purpose of the research is to develop the method of determining the level of danger for workers in the working area under the condition of the combined action of harmful factors of different classes on the basis of an integral indicator -production risk Research results: the object of hazard analysis is the system "man -machine -environment", and it combines technical objects, people and the environment that interact with each other. Potential danger or harmfulness of production processes means the presence of dangerous and harmful factors that while acting on a person can lead to work-related injury or occupational disease. Existing methods for determining the level of danger from the combined action of harmful factors in production conditions are based on the principle of the Liebig minimum, but its drawback is the consideration of factors that have the maximum effect [6,7]. But there are other factors that do not have overdone of acceptable standards, although they also significantly affect the health status of employees. Such a contradiction can be eliminated by introducing probabilistic estimates of the hazard level of the working environment. It is proposed to determine the level of danger in the working area using the risk function, which will automate the certification process of jobs [8].
The form of expression of theoretical risk is a statistical indicator, reduced to the probability of some undesirable event. In the future, the probability of such an event, some estimate of the expected harm is combined into one indicator, and therefore a combination of risk and harm or a reward set is combined. In statistical decision theory, the risk function δ(x) for the parameter θ, calculated for some observable parameters x, is defined as the mathematical expectation of the loss function : (1) where -the loss function of the estimation parameter θ and the estimation value δ (x); the probability of an unwanted event. Risk assessment in the working area under the influence of environmental factors is generally performed with the assumption that the level of contamination is known [9]. This means that the contamination event has already occurred, i.e Р = 1.
Usually, for the loss function , some cost unit of risk is taken that characterizes the consequences of an event. From the perspective of the employer, the cost measure of risk will be taken to be equal to the amount of five years' earnings of the employee, in accordance with the law. Establishing such a cost estimate may be appropriate for other levels of severity of adverse events.
According to the Weber-Fechner law, in the case of atmospheric air pollution in the general case, there is a functional dependence on the level of pollution, sensation and risk: (3) where rthe level of risk; Сconcentration of harmful substances in the air, mg /m 3 ; k -the proportionality factor; С0-the lowest concentration at which action is felt.

Taking into account the normative parameters determined experimentally for each substance, two fixed points of dependence can be established (3). Substitute 1/k for λ to simplify the transformations: ГДК (permissible exposure limit) ЛК (lethal concentration) (4) Solving the system of equations (4) for concentrations of pollutants that exceed ГДК (permissible exposure limit) will be as follows: Similarly, we determine the risk dependencies for noise, ionizing radiation and electromagnetic oscillations to calculate the potential risk when different factors are involved (Table 1). When assessing the level of danger, the main action is to convert information about any property of environmental parameters into the risk indicators. But at this stage there is a complexity, which is due to the fact that previous studies of the nature of the action of harmful substances and other factors were conducted without taking into account the mutual influence of factors. Therefore, the question of dose-effect transformation should be solved on the basis of the available experimental data in Table. 1. Thus, the specified transformation can be carried out with respect to each elementary property, with the subsequent reduction of individual indicators to a single criterion of quality of the system as a whole. But in the general case, considering the nature of causation in the sequence "action -feeling -reaction", this is of no fundamental importance.
Further, the total risk in such a sequence is calculated. First, the values of the annual risk for each factor ri, are calculated, and then the value of the integral risk is calculated: , Therefore, all of the above indicates a unified approach to calculating the estimation of the parameters of the working area, which does not require the introduction of multiple scales to characterize the quality of the environment. In general, using the estimate as a ratio of two quantities is equivalent to the transition from intensity to extensive impact characteristics. It is also known that the dose is an integral value and is determined based on the time of action. The dependencies obtained in the application for job certification greatly facilitate the assessment of factors of the production environment and the working process. Also, taking into account the mutual influence of factors, it is possible to determine the priority of occupational safety measures, taking into account the level of production and occupational risks, and refining recommendations for improving working conditions.
Although this approach cannot be regarded as absolutely correct because it does not take into account the probability of a worker working in the area of the hazard factor i. Given this, the probability of the presence of the hazard factor i in the working area can be determined by the following formula: , where Рі v -the probability of action of the dangerous factor i; Рі р -the probability of a worker's presence in the area of the hazard factor i. Also, the probability of action of the dangerous factor i; and the probability of a worker's presence in the area of its action is determined by the following formulas: і , (8) where ti v -the stay period of the dangerous factor i; ti pthe stay period of an employee in the area of the hazard factor i. ТСМthe stay period of the change. Substituting these expressions into the following formula (7), we obtain the probability of the hazard factor i. on the worker: . (9) In the presence of 2, 3, … n harmful factors, the probability of their action is determined as follows: . (10) Provided that the probability of the effects of harmful factors on workers is known, then the determination of the harmfulness of the production process as a whole will proceed as follows: , where N1, N2, … Nn -the number of the employees covered by the action of 1, 2, 3, … n hazard factors; Р0(1), Р0(2), ... Р0 (n) -the probability of the action on the employees of 1, 2, 3, … n hazard factors; Nthe total amount of workers The probability of action of the dangerous factor i.can be determined by the following formula: , where Рj bthe probability of the presence in the working area of the dangerous factor i (substance); Рj рthe probability of a person being in the area of action of the dangerous factor i (substance); Рj nc -the amazing ability of the dangerous factor i (substance). The probability of the presence in the working area of the hazard factor i (substance) and the probability of a person being in the area of action of this factor is determined by the formula (8). And the impressive ability of the dangerous factor i (substance) is defined as: , djthe actual level (content) of the dangerous factor j (substance); Djthe limit level (content) of the dangerous factor j (substance). The limit level (content) of the dangerous factor j (substance) is one in which workers are subject to the fastest evacuation from the danger zone.
Substituting into (12) the expressions for Рj b , Рj р and Рj nc , we obtain: 1(53), Vol.2, January 2020 The probability of harmful effects of т factors is determined by the following formula: . (15) On the basis of the algorithm of transformation of the environmental parameters into an indicator of an industrial risk, the map analysis of working conditions was carried out according to the results of the certification of the jobs of the regional railway branch of the Southern Railway PJSC Ukrainian Railway. The data obtained is shown in Table 2.
ГДК (permissible exposure limit) ГДР (alarm level) The conducted assessment of working conditions shows that workplaces № 1, № 2, № 4 belong to 3.1 class according to [10], but the integral risk indicators according to [4] are excessive. Workplaces № 3, № 5, № 6 belong to 3.2 class, where the calculations of integral risk indicators are 10 -4 , 10 -3 і 10 -3 respectively, that is, the maximum permissible and higher [4]. So, we have a proven subjectivity to evaluate the actual conditions and the nature of work according to [10]. Integral risk indicators testify to the contradiction of Ukrainian legislation with the world health and safety standards to create controlled conditions that minimize the potential consequences of harmful and hazardous factors in the production environment and the working process [3].
Conclusions. The question as to the application of methods of determining the level of hazard from the combined effects of harmful factors in production conditions has been considered. As a result of the conducted researches it has been determined that the disadvantage of the existing approach to job certification in our country is the neglect of the effect of mutual influence of factors. Other factors that do not exceed allowances, but which have a significant impact on the health of employees, are also disregarded.
As a result, the feasibility of using a method of determining the level of hazard for workers in the working area based on the dose-effect transformation was substantiated. There has been obtained a new approach to the calculation of the estimating the parameters of the working area, which does not require the introduction of multiple scales to characterize the quality of the environment. The contradiction of part of the Ukrainian legislation with the world standards on health and safety has been revealed.
